Wanted.

The Friends of Maghull & District (FOMD) would be immensely grateful if there are any local tree surgeons who could provide some large diameter logs (pictured to be situated either side of the archway) and preferably need cutting down to 90 cm long if possible. We had a great initial response in February but still need approximately six huge logs or more to enable the installation to be put together at long last.

Rationale.

The newly installed galvanised steel archway, has kindly been funded by a year’s tireless funding by the local Co-op shoppers who have contributed several pennies to every pound they spent and matched by the Co-op. Their kindness has enabled us to manufacture and install with the creative skills of Challenge Forge an archway that will not only be a crowning welcoming entrance to the space, bug hotel, but will importantly highlight for the NHS landowners the profoundly misunderstood ‘overarching’ term of neuro diversity (e.g. ADHD, Autism ADD, dyslexia and dyscalculia, dyspraxia etc) something we also felt passionately about after the sad loss of Matthew Lock, who had been one of our friends and volunteered on many projects.

Background.

The FOMD volunteers with huge community support have worked tirelessly every day to transform Rowlands Dell resulting in Maghull’s largest ever environmental cleanup and Maghull’s largest ever NHS health and wellness green grant for disabled accessible features. After two years of working daily we are now putting in a huge array of planting to create a tranquil biodiverse haven for humans and wildlife and the archway would represent a welcoming and crowning feature for our official opening ceremony this year.

We’ve had some terrific support from our local tree surgeons over many years and we are keeping our fingers crossed that they or others can spare some time and further kindness to support this lovely initiative.

With huge thanks,

Dr Frank Sharp
